What does this mean??(don't write this)In the end, it's all about reproduction. Evolutionary success is directly measured by how many successful offspring are made.vsThere are several ways toincrease the amount of successful offspring...There are several ways toincrease the amount of successful offspring...There are several ways toincrease the amount of successful offspring...There are several ways toincrease the amount of successful offspring...1: adaptations that make individuals more likely to survive (to reproduce)2: adaptations that increases the number of offspring3: adaptations that increase how many times you reproduce4: adaptations that increase parental care (to make offspring more likely to reproduce).increase successful reproductionmore offspringmore adaptations(when you're done with this slide as part of your summary)TABLE SHAREAs a table come up with 3 ways to increase evolutionary success- You will share with class- You will receive participation points for new waysDon't write what's in GreenmanyFewLife SaversIf you eat 20 Twinkies will you gain a lot of weight if you have a fast metabolism?- No NameMetabolism is a word used to refer to all the processes your body does to grow and stay alive.slow metabolism vs fast metabolismsometimes being bigger is geneticif you try to lose weight, your body thinks your starving so it tries to store a much energy as possible.Table discussion:You need at least 3 explanations.Write your answers under you Biofresh.Why do you think scientists think that humans are not really evolving any more?Under your notes:(don't write)REVIEWMutations <> SelectionSpeciation:- the development of 2 new species from 1Species = group of organisms that produce viable offspringIn order for 1 species to form 2, something has to stop them from reproducing. Examples: genetic change, isolation, specialization, (more)When they become different species they are in competition with each other.sometimes people like to think nature is a beautiful place where everything is in harmonyNOPEmost of the time creating offspring means maximizing resources.This means competition. Most species try to destroy everything else to create more room for themselves killHumans Killed them allWhat happened to the Neanderthals?new traits?removal of detrimental traits(reproductive isolation)What age do human parents push their offspring out of the nest?Complete your Speciation assignment from yesterday."I know the feeling haunt you"(that you're not on task)^1) What is a species?2) How do new species come about?3) How are bad traits removed from a population of organisms?4) What is your opinion about dolphins?
